Price/Power (4/5)
This offers a version of the Fan of Swords with bulk icons instead of the splatter of icons the aforementioned fan does plus a little more defense. In terms of price/power, it doesn't come close to the Grapes of Wrath but does offer yet another decent choice in this space for about the right price.

Countermeasures (5/5)
I actually like this more than I ever did the Fan of Swords- while this can be more easily tempered by full blockers, chances are it will get icons through more individual weapons with ease. Also, I do believe this deserves the same rating as the Fan of Swords (ironically meaning i am giving this one slightly more than I originally did to match it, but I do think it is better).

Alternatives Upgrades or Downgrades
The Grapes of Wrath or Wand of the Dark Faerie can currently be gotten from the plot and will be for so long that chances are most players will easily be able to afford them both, this means the price will be down down down for a very long time. While this or the Fan of Swords are still both very decent items, they likely will be in the shadows of the current meta.

Other Points

Final Thoughts
Honestly, I wish I was able to rate these low enough to give bonus points. I love the idea of these 1p items being released in the wild. I would actually not say no to a special "Covelike" store where 1p items are slowly (but steadily) released into the wild. Some sort of "Nostalgic Collectors Society" where they release old but previously unobtainable items in batches every other day. Maybe even like the concert hall.

This weapon is a 1-Player Only weapon and can be used if stolen from the opponent that holds it. I rate these weapons on a 4-point scale,
4 = Use if stolen without question, 3 = May be worth using, 2 = Not the worst item you could steal, but still not great. 1 = Congrats, you stole something useless.

Better then:
This section will be updated if this weapon is ever re-released with another competitor.

Worse then:
This section will be updated if this weapon is ever re-released with another competitor.

Worth Stealing?:
Look for items which do over your current level of attack, freeze or heal to decide that.

Worth Using?:
Possibly, it should be more powerful... but do check for blocks first. Though, this item is unlikely to actually reused.

Extra Notes:
This item is currently not used by any active opponent. Stealing is often disabled in plots, so even if this does come back don't count on using it.
